Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 1145,404, dated May 30, 1871.

To all whom it may concern: l

i Be it known that I, WILLIAM II. WINDSOR,

of Little Rock, in the 'county of Pulaski and State oi Arkansas, have invented a newand Improved Printers Chase; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled inthe artto make and use the same, referencebein g had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification'.

4This invention relates to improvements in theconstruction of a printers chase, in which the side-sticks, having inclined planes upon oneside, are worked to clamp the type by other movable sticks with counter-molines, operated by screws, friction-rollers being employed between the inclined planes; and the invention consists in a construction of the frame of the chase and arrangement `of y the screws, as hereinafter described.

g Figure 1 isa plan view of my improved chase, and Fig.` 2is a section of the same on the linea/vx. g

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. g The chase proper A is made of an iron bar, one or one and ahalf by ve-eighths inch, but

graduating or varying the size by the form to be locked.` This I shape at one corner, as shown i at B, leaving a notch or space for thepurpose `of bringing the heads of two screws, D, on the `outside of the chase at the cutout corner, and

have a collar, E, onthe inside, and are fastby a tongue or bar, K, fastened to the said sticks at each end and in the middle.

The said bars bearing in the grooves in the rollers on the side next the sidesticks L,which have inclines reversed to those on the sticks worked by the screws, the 'sidesticks I move against the type by the action of the movable sticks L worked by turning the screws, which force the movable side-sticks to either end of the chase. The object of the notch is to bring the screw-heads outside of the chase, where they will not interfere with any appliances employed in locking .the chase upon the press.

Y Having thus described my invention, I claim f as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentv The chase proper,having the notch C'formed in the corner for arranging the heads of the two screws on the outside, substantially as and for the purpose specified. W'. H, WINDSOR.
